Requested a Carfax for a Toyota Yaris hatchback they're selling. I was told that they don't provide Carfax but would take $50 off the purchase price if I ordered one and bought the car - HUGE red flag (trying to hook customers with an investment). NO dealership buys cars without running a carfax on them first which is why they're offered to customers for free. I looked up the VIN with google and found out the car was purchased by M-R from a salvage lot. Here's a link for the curious: http://tinyurl.com/jqyh2ga
I went to see the car in person and took it on a test drive, and I was happy that it seemed to drive well. I stopped by my mechanic who showed me where the frame was bent from being in a collision, which bent and displaced a metal part of the A/C line, broke the starter's connection housing, and broke the engine coolant reservoir. The coolant reservoir had been plastic welded rather than replaced - and was LEAKING.
I brought the car back to M-R and talked to the salesman. The bluebook on this car is $5100 in excellent condition with a clear title. They're asking $5995. I pointed out the $700 in repairs the car needed, the fact that it was bought off a salvage lot, had frame damage, there were numerous active recalls on it, and that it didn't even have adequate tires for the snow that's going to drown Wisconsin in two months. I offered $5000, which is more than fair price for this broken little box, but I love the Yaris and hate car shopping/haggling. I was told M-R doesn't negotiate prices. I walked out the door immediately.
Maybe if you were selling a car that ISN'T BROKEN, and for what it's ACTUALLY worth, you could get away with not negotiating.

I bought a vehicle from this dealership. The salesman was very nice and personable, but did not know very much about the car. There were a few minor aesthetic problems with the car that were not listed on the website, but overall it was a nice vehicle for the price. There was no warranty at this dealership, they did not provide temporary insurance for driving it home, and there was an additional $99.00 service fee, which was never mentioned during the transaction. The car also had no floor mats, and we noticed that it had a tail light out when we took it home. Potential customers should be aware that this dealership will NOT negotiate at all on price.
